In Yves Klein’s Anthropométries de l’Époque bleue—a video from 1960—three naked women sponge paint onto their bodies in a gallery that has a wall and floor covered with fabric. While violinists play live music, the “human paintbrushes,” as they were called, roll around on the floor or press body parts against the wall. It was a groundbreaking escape from the standard canvas. This spring, Lévy Gorvy Dayan presents nearly 30 Klein body paintings, which come from his “Anthropométries,” “Peintures de feu,” and “Sculpture tactile” series. Klein, who died of a heart attack in 1962, at 34, associated living bodies with elements like fire, water, and air. “The link between spirit and matter is energy,” he once wrote, “the combined mechanism of these three elements generates our tangible world, which is claimed to be real but is in fact ephemeral.” Staged across multiple floors, the exhibition brings the three series together for the first time, and emphasizes the crucial nature of physicality in Klein’s work. —Jeanne Malle
